Blog-from the workshop

We are thrilled to announce that Imagination Doors can be bought in Kunsthandwerk, a beautiful shop in Steinhausen that sells a-mazing items. To know that our wee doors are now among their selection, is a great feeling.

Every time I go in there, I find new gems and linger over the items I have already spotted. For example, their amazing book-lights. No, not a light you use to read a book, but a book, that is also a light. A book-light. Or perhaps a light-book?

Either way, check out their page, visit their shop, show them some love.

Launching the Kickstarter was one of the bravest things Imagination Doors has done! In addition to reaching our financial goal, here is a list of what else was achieved:

We made our first video that introduces our doors to the world.

We built up our Kickstarter campaign which included our story, a video, a GIF and images.

We were featured in a local paper, both in print and online.

We contributed to a University marketing blog.

A local shop filled their shop window with some of Stephens amazing larger pieces.

The Facebook page got approx 82 more people liking the page, as well as additional Instagram and Twitter followers.

We inspired 50 of you to pledge money to help.

AND

We generated over 7,009 CHF in pledges! That is huuge!

Of course there was a lot of work behind the scenes, We wrote to four other publications, as well as mummy bloggers and websites. We organised advertising, gave away doors and designed new ones mid-campaign.

It was a roller-coaster. Sometimes we were on a high and some days we were on a low. But this campaign ended on a massive high!

Our campaign and links were shared by you and many others countless times. We feel truly lucky to have so many people in our lives who support what we do.

So we want to say thank you. Thank you so much. If I could, I would hug you all.

Imagination Doors may be may be small, but we are fierce and creative and we enjoy what we do. Now we will take stock, make a plan and we will keep you informed.
